MURDERLATION (Halloween 2007)
Holy my crap this was one of the best shows I've seen in a while. It was in a dank basement in Humboldt Park, which was both very much the same as a dank basement in Evanston (where I'd seen a few basement shows with people from this scene) and yet very much different.
Of course it didn't hurt that the songs are instantly catchy and great (I had no previous exposure to the Misfits; I think my punk-leaning brother who was my conduit to hardcore in h.s. thought they were either clownish with the makeup, or too weird and goth). But Murderlation really took it to the next level with the energy, and the crowd got way into it.
The best part was the end when Claire and Chris both threw themselves into the crowd to really start the pit. Points for participation!
I just went on the sadu face website only to find out that show was their last. Ergf. It should be Halloween every day.
